Friday: SWINE WEEK/PINK DAY! Show your support for everything piggy by wearing pink or your Swine Week shirt from a previous year!
Our PTO’s fundraising goal to help EMHS and HALO Project, the program they are raising money for this year, is $3000. Let’s help make it happen!
Edmond Memorial’s annual community service project, Swine Week, began in 1986 when a small group of students decided to raise money for a friend in need. The students approached the principal, who supported the endeavor and even agreed to kiss a pig. $3,000 was raised, the principal kissed a pig, and Swine Week was born.
Flash forward 30+ years, and EMHS students have since raised over $6.5 million dollars for charity.
